Meaning & Origin

Only 5 babies have been named Megale in recorded U.S. history. That level of rarity means your child would almost certainly be the only one in their school, their workplace, and most rooms they walk into — a genuinely one-of-a-kind choice.

Megale is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.

Megale is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, from the Greek megale meaning 'great' or 'large.' In ancient Greece, megale was used in epithets for powerful goddesses, giving this simple name a quietly majestic classical heritage.

EtymologyShow more

Megale first shows up in U.S. Social Security records in 1994. First appearing in the 1990s, Megale emerged during a period of rapid naming innovation in America, when parents increasingly created new names or adopted them from global cultures.

Its Greek classification suggests a path from greek linguistic traditions into American usage, though the specific route — whether through immigration, literature, or cultural exchange — would require deeper historical research.
